On the AOPA Forum, Bruce said that all the AMEs he talked to in his area have said they would not sign such a form.
[Edit]
My attempt at paraphrasing was inaccurate, so I'll just quote verbatim:
It has been effectively made into a 4th class medical. In my city, all the MD pilots have already said "no way are they going to sign that".
That leaves the AME as the only place left. And the liability then goes to him. The worst part is, I know what the standards are. And if I can get someone to meet them, they are going to make a third class anyway, I rather just "send it in and get approval". sigh.
As for Mr. Oslick, the Fullerton Calif. docs will do that until the first one has HUGE payout, and then the party's over. It would be very simple for me, as an expert witness, to demolish such a guy. Easier still for the plaintiff's attorney. I have watch it done, and it ain't pretty.
This sausage making factory we call congress is soooo very messed up.
